[thechat] Richmond, VA area?

[Scott Dexter]

Well, as luck would have it, my girlfriend landed a job in the
Richmond area starting in August. I've made the (silly?) commitment
to go with her, but I know little about the area with regards to tech
jobs, general city feel, nightlife, etc. 

So I come to you, my fellow evoltchatters, for help. :D

What should I, as a technology infused hockey-loving(and playing)
goober, know about Richmond?

For what it's worth, she is going to be a psychology prof at Longwood
University in Farmville, about an hour southwest of Richmond. Since
the biggest thing in Farmville (besides the school) is Applebee's,
we're going to live in Richmond, most likely the South
Side/Midlothian area. I'd like to have some insight before heading
out there to look myself. Thanks a whole bunch folks :)
